Gender Differences in Facial Rejuvenation

The document discussed the increasing trend in cosmetic procedures, highlighting significant gender differences in facial rejuvenation. Men, who represented 10% of patients seeking these procedures, experienced a 325% increase in cosmetic treatments since 1997. Aging processes differed between genders due to intrinsic factors like hormonal changes and extrinsic factors such as UV exposure and smoking. Men generally had more severe facial wrinkles and required higher doses of neurotoxins for effective treatment. Anatomical differences included men having larger, flatter foreheads, more prominent jaws, and less subcutaneous fat, while women had more arched eyebrows, fuller cheeks, and a more convex forehead. Understanding these differences was crucial for tailoring cosmetic treatments to achieve optimal results for both men and women.
